Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The United Kingdom National Committee of Comparative Law (UKNCCL) was probably established in 1956 (earliest colloquium recorded in the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies Library). Its object is to advance education by promoting and encouraging the study of Comparative law. Its membership is open to law schools that provide for the teaching of Comparative law, and institutions and organisations that are concerned with the promotion of the comparative study of law. It arranges regular colloquia on Comparative law; most colloquia papers have been published. The Committee is run by a Council overseen by an elected Chairman. Business is carried out by two joint honorary secretaries and a treasurer.
